It seems that every week there’s a new and amazing dog training method being taught. It’s sometimes mind boggling to know where to begin. Over the years I have discovered what I believe are the Secrets to Dog Training, find out more about these in this brief article.

You might be surprised to learn that the underlying features of almost all dog training methods are the same. One thing that they all have in common is the effective use of positive reinforcement.

Secret number 1:

The 1st secret I want you to know is this: Puppies learn faster than mature dogs. SO – teach your dog while its young if possible. If your dog is no longer a puppy don’t despair. Consistency and persistence will still get you good results.

Secret Number 2:

The best way to train your dog is to be firm but fair. Get to know your dog and build up a bonding relationship with him. Treat your dog with love and affection and your results will most likely be more effective than ever.

Secret Number 3:

Don’t wait for a problem to arise. Teach your dog from a young age what is good behaviour so that you never need to correct bad behaviour! This is a great way to avoid unneeded behaviour problems.

The best way to train your dog is to stick to the basics. The same fundamentals underline every single dog training regime I’ve ever seen so don’t go hunting for magic bulletsyou wont find them. Be consistent, persistent and enjoy time with your dog.
